It would be my life's mission to see to it that this Stasi thug deputy is sued and fired, never to terrorize American citizens again. I would sue his bosses as well since they are responsible for allowing this piece of crap deputy cut loose on the public.

This is a job for our lamestream media ... to cover this type of travesty so that it never happens again ... and to let the public be aware of the injustices that are dealt to law-abiding citizens on what appears to be an almost daily basis. Too bad they are SO CONTROLLED!
